Mr In-between
Threat advisory: Guarded - General risk of entertaining activities
Movie propaganda
Jon Bennet (Andrew Howard) is an ideal employee: neat, efficient and conscientious.Nobody would guess that this self-conscious introvert tortures and kills to earn his living, but for those who understand his trade Jon is more than just a journeyman murderer, he is an artist of growing reputation.
Jon works for the Tattooed Man (David Calder), an awesome figure whose taste for cruelty is only outweighed by his erudite learning and penchant for philosophy. The Tattooed Man takes care of Jon. He feeds, clothes and educates his protégé, asking for nothing in return but unquestioning loyalty.
By chance Jon encounters Andy (Andrew Tiernan) and Cathy (Geraldine O'Rawe) - old friends from school, now married with a child - and the cosy normality of their lives awakens him to the unsatisfactory nature of the twilight world he inhabits. As Jon finds himself drawn towards Cathy in a way he has never experienced before, he begins to question everything that he has become.
Torn between Cathy and the Tattooed Man, he becomes Mr In-between. But the Tattooed Man will not tolerate a rival. Jon must act, and act fast. Everything is at stake. The safety of his friends and the redemption of his soul.

Theatrical report
Mr In-between is a classic Brit film.
An assassin and a sicko for a boss - someone who has tattoos all over his body and enjoys taking drugs and torturing people.
It's not a sick move, though, like, say, Silence of the lambs, but I think that that's what Peter and Paul were after. Setting aside the fact that I didn't like Mr In-between, and sometimes I didn't understand it, either, there was some really good cinematography and the acting was wonderful. It only gets 300 out of 666 because unless you're watching the film for school and have a stack of study notes, you're not going to understand it.
